Must-Have Scarves

With winter in full swing, your work wear priorities go from “stylish and professional” to “stylish and professional – without freezing to death.”

Scarves not only keep you cozy in your cubicle, but they can add a pop of color to your usual suit or biz-casual look.

Scarves in a bold color are the perfect cold-weather addition to a shift dress, cardigan and tights. Plus, scarves in classic patterns like houndstooth will complement a silk blouse and slacks.

For offices with a laid-back dress policy, pocket scarves take form and function to a new level. We like the Julian pocket scarf and this one from Nordstrom. They’re perfect for hopping downstairs to the vending machine or around the corner for a steaming cup of coffee without lugging your big bag or overcoat.

For those who take a particularly windy commute, Tyz Scarves have a built-in wire allowing you to wrap and style your scarf without readjusting it. Plus, there’s no fear of it blowing away.

For those who love to dress colorfully, you can wrap your neck in whatever pattern suits your mood – from floral and animal print to color-blocked and striped.

ScarfWorld lets you search scarves by color, fabric and even embellishment. Plus, Texere Silk offers step-by-step instructions on more than 35 ways to tie your scarf – so you can have a different style for each day of the month.
